The Museum of Modern Art in New York City has a new exhibit that explores human interaction with present and past technology. The museum and engineers are trying to make technology transparent. They want people to take an object and run with it; to use the technology and have a natural experience using it. The exhibit is filled with future ATMs, power management within homes, location based gaming, data visualization, and even sending a text message by a slingshot. One of the pieces of art detects moods and emotions of humans. The capabilities of the technological art pieces are extremely fascinating and unbelievable. The

The most interesting work of art was the menstruation machine, which allows the male gender to experience what it feels like to be a woman. Technology definitely is taking over the world. It’s hard to imagine what will be created 10 to 15 years from now. The exhibit in the museum is a perfect portrayal of the importance and magnitude of information technology in today’s world.

Technology is made to improve humanity. The designer of the exhibit wants to stress to the business environment that design is all around us, and design should be a part of every executive suite. The objects in the exhibit are everyday objects that are made easier to interact with, such as ATM machines. By going to this museum, you can have a sneak peek at the future of technology. The exhibit looks very interesting; I would love to go and see it.
